How it's used
Refers specifically to very short, tight-fitting shorts that expose a significant portion of the thighs. While the term originated from Western fashion, it is now standard in local retail and casual conversation to describe this specific style of clothing. It carries a slightly more fashion-conscious or provocative connotation compared to generic terms for shorts.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with generic shorts, which are usually referred to as 短褲. Using this term for knee-length or loose-fitting shorts will sound inaccurate or confusing to native speakers.
